I’ve learned over the years how important reading is to writers. I feel I can always learn something from another author – even if I don’t particularly like his or her book. So I try to keep reading and competing in the Goodreads yearly book challenge helps. Last year I committed to reading twenty-five books – yes, I know that’s not a very big number, but it was plenty big for me. Even so, I overshot my goal and read twenty-eight last year.
This year I’ve committed to reading another twenty-five books, and I’ve already finished my first and I’m well into my second. I’ll be reviewing my first book of 2019 here on January twenty-fourth when I host the author while she’s on her WOW! Women On Writing virtual book tour.
As you will see from that list of books I read in 2018, I’m a very eclectic reader. I even mixed in a few politically themed books and included some poetry volumes. By far my favorite book of the whole year is Michelle Obama’s Becoming. It is so personal, honest, and heartfelt. What a wonderful human being she became.
Here’s the list according to Goodreads:
You have read 28 of 25 books in 2018.

I hope you’ll share what you have read or are currently reading with
our readers. It’s always wonderful to find out about books
